This. Also, very wealthy people tend to have personnel such as security guards, chefs, housekeepers, drivers, even straight-up butlers and maids. I have no idea which of these Gates has, if any, but will he have the ideological consistency to send them all home and do his own cooking and cleaning for a few weeks or months? And if so, will he ensure these people will at least still have enough income to live on? Increasing the severity of the shutdown means different things to the richest 20% than it does to the other 80%.

I know he doesn't run things anymore, but at least I'm not creating baseless accusations
